Joplin / Missouri / United States
Theres a new kid on the block well, maybe not so new. After 20 years with Ace Electric, Robbie Sullivan transitioned this spring to help create ACCUMAX, a manufacturer and distributor to the electrical rebuilding Industry located in Joplin, MO. Sullivan says hes often asked why he started a new business with the overall downturn the rebuilding industry has experienced in recent years. Questions intensify when he explains his plan to stay small. This industry is shrinking in some areas ; however there are also fewer suppliers, I believe if you stick to what you know, work hard, provide service and a good product, then customers will appreciate the option of buying from a small supplier, he said. Call it finding a niche. ACCUMAX manufactures and distributes a full line of solenoids and starter drives, as well as small switches. They also remanufacture starter drives.
